hey andy, i'm a a200 user myself... i think u should go for the twin lens kit... also... the 75-300mm will be good for ur macro shots... just make sure you get a Raynox DCR-250 Macro converter to get them damnkauchun bugshots! biggrin.gif....

and yea andy... if you like macro... ur gonna need a flash gun for really good results... if ya got the cash get yaself a HVL-F58AM! after that you're ready for any indoor and low light situations... wink.gif

Ic....mine is the single lens kit with 18mm-70mm..... sweat.gif sweat.gif

btw how much does the 75-300mm cost?

and those compact cam, they usually use how x zoom rite, but now how do i know the x zoom from these lens?

i think what he wanna show is how u can make ur background looks bigger when u use tele lens compared to main subject...
like.. make moon shots appear way bigger in the background~~

i think he keep the gremlin size the same by using MF and move away a bit from original place..  icon_question.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif
